Use
A depot preparation containing 150 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate was introduced over 20 years ago for use as a long-acting injectable contraceptive. Subsequently, positive results of carcinogenicity studies carried out in beagle bitches led to refusal of registration in the United States. These findings were later considered irrelevant to contraceptive use in women and the drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Menstrual irregularities are the most common adverse effect associated with depot medroxyprogesterone acetate. Risk-benefit judgements differ significantly from country to country, having regard to differing national circumstances. The preparation is, however, widely available and is included in the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs.
